But it was too late! The chain-smashing conviction I felt just moments before was still fresh in my heart. So intense and truthful that I imagine it's what some people would call a calling. A calling? All of a sudden that phone in The Matrix gained a whole new meaning:
The universe had dialed my extension and was like, "Bro, I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life, but like... you should probably travel.". It was a call I've heard before, but I was too afraid to pick it up until now. It was time to start planning! First, I had to figure out why I was doing this.
Hmmm...
I wanted to leave my job because I had no passion for it. I want to explore, to get lost, to dive into the fascinating strangeness of other cultures, to discover the world's beauty, and to positively affect change and give lightshows everywhere I go. I want to find a way to live passionately and without compromising my values. I want to do it for as long as I can.
Several furious Google searches later, and I've drafted up a rough plan. The following modes of travel will allow me to accomplish the above, while saving money to be able to do it longer and in more places:
- Volunteering;
- Help Exchange;
- Workaway;
- WWOOFing;
- Couch Surfing; and
- Teaching English.
It would be so cool to somehow busk with my gloves for some extra coin too! I'll be spending my first 3 months in the Philippines, and whatever doors open from there will guide the rest of my journey.
So much to do! So little time!
